1. عجبتُ من رجمِ نارٍ يحرقُ النارا

    والله يظهرهُ في العين أنوارا

    I marveled at a fiery missile that burns fire.

    And God makes it appear to the eye as lights.

  2. لابدَّ منه له حفظاً لشُرعِتنا

    ولو تسرَّبَ أنفاقاً وأغواراً

    It is inescapable for him, to preserve our sacred law,

    Even if he slips into tunnels and depths.

  3. يشوِّه الوجه منه عند رؤيتِه

    وثم يخطَفُ أسماعاً وأبصارا

    It disfigures his face at the sight of it,

    And then it snatches away hearing and sight.
